A melodious counting picture book bursting with troublesome tūī, perfect to read aloud! The familiar antics of one of New Zealand's favourite native birds have been captured by award-winning picture book creators Elena de Roo and Paul Beavis. SQUAWK! Things are getting loud! The kōwhai branch is bending ... what a sticky tūī crowd! Have the tūī slurped too much kōwhai nectar to make an escape?
Bursting with fun - and nectar! - this melodious tui story will have children and adults joining in with the tūī sounds until they too fall to the ground, just like the crowd of too many tūī. Elena de Roo's sparse use of clever text and impeccable rhythm is combined with Paul Beavis's artwork that oozes with character, creating a special picture book fit for a clutch of chaotic tūī, and finished off with ten fascinating tūī facts.
